Day 23

So I have missed a few or maybe 10 days.... I have been busy. 

I am still on the plan and proud to say that I have not cheated once. This girl has not given into temptation to eat Mexican food at Jaliscos or coffee with creamer. I know these sound like little things but for me this is a big deal. 

In the past when I did diets I would have a cheat, just something little to start and that's all it would take to throw me off. Oh I have already messed up today by eating food X I might as well just eat what I want for the rest of the day and it was over.... But not this time. Yesterday someone brought some really yummy looking pumpkin cake to work and put it in the sales cube, I wasn't even tempted. 

I can also proudly say that this morning when I weighed I was officially down 20 pounds!!!! Yay!!! I am definitely starting to feel better and have more energy. 

I have also found some ways to be creative with my food and still stay on the plan. This was my dinner last night:

It was so yummy and simple to make. 2 Roma tomatoes, a portion of chicken breast, and some seasonings. I chopped the tomatoes in my Food Ninja while I was cooking the chicken in a frying pan (no oil, only a little water, seasonings and Braggs Amino Acids at the end). Then I put the tomatoes in a pan and simmered then while the chicken finished. I added some of my favorite seasonings and when the chicken was done I dumped it in and let it simmer for a few minutes. It was amazing and full of flavor. I think I am going to do it again tomorrow but with shrimp instead. 

On a non-weight loss topic I am happy to say that I will be going to see Garth Brooks with my sister Belinda and my mom on October 30th. This will be a fun 2 night trip to SLC. My sister is flying in from Maryland. I am so excited to see her and I feel very blessed that we get to take my mom to this concert. I know that sounds crazy but her and I have talked about wanting to take mom to Garth for a long time and I wasn't sure it would happen!! But it is and as much as I am excited about seeing my sister and Garth Brooks, I am even more excited to watch my mom watch Garth Brooks. 

Well, I guess I need to get off here and go face this Tuesday head on. Have a great one, I am going to go work on losing a little more of my butt!!
